Routine Checkup: The Evolutionary Psychology Behind Bias w/ Dr. Glenn Geher
from Sickboy
We all have unconscious biases that affect how we judge people. While those biases used to serve a purpose when we humans were hunter-gatherers in small groups, they no longer help us now that we live in cities and can anonymously interact with millions of other people. On today's episode of Sickboy Podcast, evolutionary psychologist Dr. Glenn Geher joins the boys to explain different biases, why we evolved to have them, and how to be more conscious of them. And be sure to check out Dr. Geher's book, Positive Evolutionary Psychology!
